Development Sprints

**Monday, May 14th 2018 – Thursday, May 17th 2018**
</div>
We are very grateful for our sponsorships so we can supply our attendees with food and beverages!
Development sprints are a key part of PyCon, and a chance for the contributors to open-source projects to get together face-to-face for up to four days of intensive learning, development and camaraderie. Newbies sit with gurus, go out for lunch and dinner together, and have a great time while advancing their project.

PyCon Development Sprints are four days of intensive learning and development on an open source project of your choice, in a team environment. It's a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you've learned and apply it to an open source project.
In the crucible of a sprint room, teaming with both focus and humor, it's a time to test, fix bugs, add new features, and improve documentation. And it's a time to network, make friends, and build relationships that go beyond the conference.
PyCon provides the space and infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs); you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don't forget your computer).
For those that never attended a dev sprint before or want to brush up on basics, come to our our Introduction to Sprints workshop Sunday, May 13th!
For those that want to sign up to mentor beginners at the Sprints, [you can sign here (FORM TBA)].
Who can participate?
--------------------
**You!** All experience levels are welcome; sprints are a great opportunity to get connected with, and start contributing to your favorite Python project. Participation in the sprints is free!
Who can run a sprint?
